As much as I want to be a deep learning thinker in all my studies, I know I will never be one. I have tried to find passion in my studies and have been unsuccessful everytime. I have only found myself extremely interested in psychology so far and if I could bring my curiosity in that field to my other classes, I would be an amazing student. I just have an extremely hard time focusing on most of my classes, especially if I can’t find a way to relate them to myself. Psychology is all about others and myself and I love it! I find such enjoyment learning more!

So far college has been tough, I have had a harder time with work here than in high school. I think, finally after almost a month, I am starting to get the hang of it. I love my classes for my major and I have found I’m intrigued by the new topics we discuss. I find I am much more alert and attentive in these classes and I am trying to figure out how to do that with all of my classes. Why do I need biology? I have the basic foundation for it, I’ll never need to know all of its complexity. I just want to be well rounded when I come out of college and ready for the workforce knowing I am qualified for my position.


In order to be qualified for my position I have to learn to think on many levels and from many different perspectives at one time. Communicative Disorders, or the inability to communicate effectively, can be the result of one or more processes going on at the same time. One process may be the result of an anatomical defect, so I must learn to think on a clinical level. The other process may be a combination of physical and mental trauma or just mental trauma. This is where the critical and analytical thinking begins. Like anything else, I will have to train my brain to think on some different levels than I have before. This will require great focus and determination but the reward will be immeasureable when I can finally help an individual, perhaps a child, to communicate effectively when they had not been able to before. Deep thought processes will be required to solve these sometimes complex and intricate problems. There aren’t really definite answers and cures in communicative disorders.

I will soon need to train my brain to think deeply and quickly because that is what my chosen career path will require and it is this type of thinking that will enable me to succeed. No matter how deep and clinical the thought processes become will always be the simple, emotional satisfaction, of seeing that child communicate will make it all worth while.
